Are you kidding me? Many movies on that list are both critical and box-office successes.

Well, critical success means nothing. As far as financial success goes, post 1991 there isn't much.

I'm not sure if there's data to back it, but my guess would be that critical success correlates to a longer, slower run-out of money, as opposed to box-office returns. Would be an interesting analysis.
